A man with a seven gallon bucket and a four gallon bucket goes to a well to get exactly five gallons of water. He has no container other than the buckets. How can he do it?​

Answers

Answer 1
This I think could be technically answered in a couple of ways. Fill the 4 gallon bucket up and then fill the 7 gallon bucket up 1/7 of the way. Or fill the 4 gallon bucket up and transfer to the 7 gallon bucket and fill the 4 gallon bucket up 1/4 of the way. Either way the 1/4 or the 1/7 will be a close estimate to get your 5 gallon bucket. I hope this helps.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to – 2x + 3y = -6 and passes through the point (-2, 0)?

Answers

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to know the slope of the line -2x + 3y = -6 because parallel lines have the same slopes

let's put the equation in y=mx+b format (slope-intercept format)

-2x + 3y = -6

add 2x to each side to get:

3y = 2x - 6

divide each side by 3 to get:

y = 2/3x - 2

the equation now shows us the slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is (0,-2)

now we use y=mx+b again and use the point (-2,0) and the m=2/3 to get the y-intercept ('b' value) of the equation that is parallel:

0 = 2/3(-2) + b

0 = -4/3 + b

b = 4/3

equation would be:

y = 2/3x + 4/3

Give your answer in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

  z = 3√13

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of z is the geometric mean of the segments of the longest side that share a common point with z. The shorter of those is 9; the longer one is 4+9 = 13. Then ...

  z = √(9(13))

  z = 3√13

__

Additional comment

In like fashion, ...

x = √(4(13)) = 2√13y = √(4·9) = 6.

__

These relations come about because all of these right triangles are similar. That means their side lengths are proportional.

  long side/hypotenuse = z/13 = 9/z   ⇒   z = √(9·13)

  short side/hypotenuse = x/13 = 4/x   ⇒   x = √(4·13)

  short side/long side = 4/y = y/9   ⇒   y = √(4·9)

The ratio of collectible coins Juanita owns to coins that Elia owns is 3:1. Elia has 32 coins. How will the ratio of Juanita’s coins to Elia’s coins change if they both sell one fourth of their coins? Explain.

Answers

Hi there Maebe, since the ratio is 3:1 your answer is 96.

The ratio 3:1 is just saying Juanita has 3 times whatever Elita has. So, Elita’s 32 times 3 equals 96. :) I hope I’ve helped you. Please give me feedback if you need more help understanding!

PLEASE ANSWER THIS AS FAST AS YOU CAN

Answers

Answer:

x = 8 and y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

3y + 27 = 90 so 3y = 90 -27 which is 63 and to get y you divide 63 by 3 to get 21

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 so 180 = x + 90 + 8x + 18

Then you minus 90 from 180 to get 90 = x + 8x + 18 which simplifies to 90 = 9x + 18

Then you minus 18 from 90to get 72 = 9x

Then divide 72 by 9 to get x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you like my answer than please mark me brainliest

Answer:

The numbers are : 60 , 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even numbers be 2x , 2x + 2

2x + 2x + 2 = 122

Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 122

Subtract 2 from both sides

4x = 122 - 2

4x = 120

x = 120/4

x = 30

2x = 2*30 = 60

2x + 2 = 2*30 + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62

A.) Find a formula for the moose population, P, in terms of t, the years since 1990.
P(t) =
B.) What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2006?

Answers

Answer:

Here plz give brainliest not easy to explain in detail like this

Step-by-step explanation:

We will consider x on the graph to be years since 1990 and y on the graph to be the number of Moose.

We have two points on the graph:  (4, 4290) and (8, 3850)

Using the slope formula (m = [y2 - y1]/[x2 - x1]), we can find the slope of this line:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)                 Slope formula

m = (3850 - 4290)/(8 - 4)          Substitution

m = -440/4                               Solve the subtraction problems in the parenthesis

m = -110                                  Reduce the fraction

Now that we have the slope of the line, we can use the point-slope formula (y - y1 = m[x - x1]) to find the equation for the line.  I will use the first point, but either point will produce the same answer.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)                                     Point-slop e formula

y - 4290 = -110(x - 4)                              Substitution

y - 4290 = -110x + 440                            Distribute the -110

y - 4290 + 4290 = -110x + 440 + 4290      Add 4290 to each side

y = -110x + 4730                                     Simplify

Since the formula that is being sought is supposed to be interms of P and t, I will replace y with P and x with t.

P(t) = -110t + 4730

To predict the population in 2006, we need to determine the years from 1990 to 2006.

2006 - 1990 = 16

P(16) = -110 (16) + 4730

P(16) = -1760 + 4730

P(16) = 2970

The value of the two variables 'x' and 'y' will be 2 and 5, respectively.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

There are two figures. The second number is one greater than twice the first. The total of the number's reciprocals is 7/10.

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'. Then the equations are given as,

y = 2x + 1                   ...1

1/x + 1/y = 7/10           ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

1/x + 1/(2x + 1) = 7/10

10(2x + 1 + x) = 7x(2x + 1)

30x + 10 = 14x² + 7x

14x² - 23x - 10 = 0

14x² - 28x + 5x - 10 = 0

14x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2) = 0

(14x + 5)(x - 2) = 0

x = 2, - 5/14

At x = 2, then the value of y is given as,

y = 2 (2) + 1

y = 5

The value of the two variables 'x' and 'y' will be 2 and 5, respectively.

Answers

Answer:

Vertex angle.Base.Base angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Base Angles Theorem to define the terms relating to an isoceles triangle:

The Base Angles Theorem states that if the two sides of a triangle are congruent, then it means that the angles opposite to those sides are also congruent.

An isoceles triangle has two congruent sides, referred to as the legs. As the legs of a triangle are slanted, they will intersect at a point known as the vertex angle.  The side that is opposite to the vertex angle is the base of the triangle.

Therefore, the following are the missing terms in the given problem:

The angle where the legs intersect is called the vertex angle.The side opposite the vertex angle is called the base.The angles along the base are called base angles.
